Letter: Don't waste your energy in November

Now here we are in a desperate fuel situation that is an ever-deepening crisis for more and more Americans and the world.

Why? The answer lies mostly in the "tight" (lack of excess) supplies of oil. And why are the supplies so limited when America has large untapped sources of oil?

Our national fuel availability has been greatly limited by fanatical environmentalists who would rather worship the earth than use it responsibly.

So we haven't been able to use a mere few thousand acres of land to drill for oil in Alaska because they allege it would harm wildlife and the environment. In short, polar bears are more important to the nature-worshipping fanatics than the people of America.

November is the voters chance to make policy by electing leaders who understand that while we pursue new 21st-century fuel technologies, we must meet our immediate fuel needs by utilizing our present fossil fuel resources.

We need a president and Congress who will pursue sane energy policies that will eventually balance the immediate needs of people and the long term needs of the environment.
